Ace Week

History and Background

Ace Week (founded as Asexual Awareness Week in 2010) is an international campaign that puts asexuality in the spotlight. Part celebration of the progress we’ve made as a community, and part campaign for greater understanding and acceptance of asexual-spectrum identities, Ace Week is a time to focus on all things ace.

The goals are to raise awareness, build community, and create change around the world.

How to Participate

You can participate by visiting the organizer’s website for various printable materials, as well as sharing your own event, starting a fundraiser for advocacy, or requesting a speaker. If your campus or place of work has an LGBTQ group, encourage them to organize events throughout the week like panels or educational opportunities. If you’re on social media, use the current year’s hashtags and campaign photos to spread the word and encourage others to do the same.
